Hi Mate. Any chance of you sticking my car on your consult to check a problem regarding this thread? http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=105164 Thanks Buddy!

Hello guys, I am after some sound advice regarding upgrading my exhaust. I have been offered a Single bore exhaust conversion, i.e. all four OEM pipes just go into one pipe from the splitter. The bore is 3.5 inch at rear. Stainless steel construction. Photos:- and I was told this bolts on the back of the back cat. Is this true?? Are there any problems with the MOT if I install this exhaust?? (i.e. emissions) Also what do I need to do to the rear bumper?? Thanks in advance ZX_Steve

how long does it take for the engine to get to normal operating temperature? I ask as since winter started it takes 20 minutes for the temp gauge to be in the middle? Thanks for the advice!

Hi all Finally done a sig what do u think ? Big thanks to Lisaf for doing it for me... :)

I know this sort of thing has been asked hundreds of times before, but can someone please advise which offset I should go for on the following wheels? I really don't want to cock it up. Ruff Racing 278 - front 18x8.5 - rear 18x19.5 Offset available is +20, or +35 Thanks!

Just signed up for this http://www.theaa.com/breakdownrepaircover/index.html Anyone else got it or have any idea on exclusions etc?

Thanks guys :)

does any one know the best way , if any or is there a problem with any ecu settings, like will i have to change any important wiring loomes or is it just a straight swop with the pedal box aswell.

Well, we've been through some tough times lately. I seriously mistreated my baby and she hasn't been speaking to me. :( Tonight I brought her a few gifts and all has been forgiven! HKS Hyper Exhaust Smithy/Leon N/A headers Powertrix upper arms Powertrix tie rods Stillen ARB front and rear Engine mounts Nismo transmission mount Wont be long now till she's back on the road! New wing and mirror are fitted, EGR and AIV removed. Old headers and all bent bits removed. Last of the new parts should arrive next week. :dance:

In my 1992 Import N/A I get roughly 17.2 MPG. This consists of a 10 minute drive to work in the morning and the same back 5 days a week, with some stop starting. Does this seem about right?

Hi PJ, been trying to get hold of you re- the collection of my car. Can you reply to the PM. Was a little worried to find that my car isnt parked in your secure yards but out on the roadside http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150201120059&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BID_Stores_IT&refitem=150200633362&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=StoreCatToStoreCat&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget#photos

I have these in my EVO and my 300ZX, sound quality is really good... this company is very good and one of the cheapest around!! They also do the components but IMHO nowadays the all in one speaker is so good unless you are very particular you ain't gonna notice too much difference... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230206344313

Had the car on conzult and its showing no reading from the o/s o2 sensor, is this likely to be the sensor broken or dodgy wiring? The car is going for a MOT soon, will this cause it to fail due to emissions?

Had a cracking new years eve, girlfriend was ill so stayed in, not a good start, Woke up today and went out to my car, some w*****s have tried prying the door open with a screwdriver, failed but made a right sodding mess, couldnt get in so ripped off my spoiler (standard), went the length of the car both sides with the screwdriver and scratched it down to the metal, folded both wing mirrors back busting them and twisted up my wipers :cry: To memory i havent upset anybody capable of that so im thinking it was mindless vandels/kiddy thieves after my install, Ive reported it to the police and they were as much use as an ash tray on a motor bike, Its all cosmetic d…

Whats involved with replacing Rear Differental Bushings on a z32 tt?

:duffer: :dance: Happy Birthday you old git ! :dance: :duffer:

Can't belive it; i saw not one but two 300's in Shrewsbury on Tue(i think.I got a bad memory ! lol) One was in white; but not sure what year; as the naughty boy was ragging it a bit and the old Chrysler tank could'nt keep up. :tongue: spotted near the A49 at Battlefield. The other was a silver with a monster rear spoiler; seen again on that side of town. Any one have any ideas??? :dance: O; and Happy New Year All. :duffer: :duffer: Marcus

hi all is there a way to set the theottle bodis for tick over . went to a garage last year and he messed around to keep it ticking over but it was an air leak. now they need setting up again, at tick over the throttle sticks as if the butterfly in the body is jamming. the cable is free it dosent do it with the engine off. so maybe the vacumm has a role to play . hoping to get it set up before the mot for the emissions

As most of you know my zed has been dead for donkeys now since playing with that bloody DB7. Chris aka CBR337, joined recently, living just a few miles from me, has had few issues with his gearbox. Yesterday he picked up his new box and a 2nd hand PTU for me, came over today (new years day) we tinkerd with my zed for a few hours, located other electrical probs i didnt know i had, Now she is running on all 6 cylinders at last, got a few air leaks to locate and an issue with one of the cats ( as might be clogged up) hopefully we will sort. But it sounds great to hear it purr. i just spent the last hour drinking stella and listening to a cd in the zed on tick over on…

Travelling back from work on mon (new years eve) at about 6pm I spotted a black Zed travelling in the opposite directon. Was going away from Manningtree towards Tendring. Didnt get a good view but it was rather loud.

Please help. My N/A Zed wont start, the engine is trying to start and is turning over but it will not actually start! If some one can give me advice please call me on 07511621307.

today nr B&q was in a blue clio admiring your shiney red paint

Let me start by saying: Not using oil Not smoking Still boosting strongly 'Off throttle' gives good - neg pressure There is no noise off-boost and i can't hear one on-boost (although may be drowned out by the hiss and exhaust!) however when i get close to 0 pressure (between +/- 0.5 mmHg) there is a slight rattling noise like shaking two dice in a cup, almost a ratchet noise.... Any ideas anyone? :)

hi my young son been press button repeatably on key fob' must have burned something out its a hisec alarm /immobilisor so cant wont start. anyone any ideas please cheers gary
